A PREACHER'S ADVENTURE.
A TRUE STORY BY AN OLD MISSISSIPIAN
About the yeax there resided in
the lower part oS Mftrioo eouoty, terri
tory Which is now eaimeed in the om
t>4)f Pearl, a phjtra Baptist preacher,
whom we will call for odovenience the
R«v. Mr Ballard (though that was Dot
bit. Dome). He had ohaigeof the prim
itive log-cabin church io the neigbbor
kbttd, where he preaohed every fourth
Saturday and Sunday M a small audi
epoe of earnest oonotuoioaDta. He waa
greatly beloved by all the people of the
neighborhood, and hie atteraooea from
the pulpit were'received by them with
out question as the orthodox exposition
ot Bible requirements. ;
Almost without exeoptiaa.the commu
nity consisted of small farmers and stock
risers—hardy pioneefs—who produced
annually for salo from one to four or five
bales of ootton and a few head of stock
for each farmer. In those days oottoD
was conveyed to Covington io ox wagons
and tho stock driven to the same place,
and thence usually transported to New
Orleans in schooners.
When tbe crop for tbe year mentioned I
was harvested the oongregation at chnreli
one Saturday, after listening to a three J
hours' sermon and a fervid prayer of one
hour's duration from Pars n Ballard, or
gan iacd a sort of pioneer grange aeat
ir.g in the church, to consider the mode
aud manner of the disposition of their
crops and the purchase of supplies. It
was argued with an intuitive grange
acuteness that if eaoh man depended on
himself, and carried his one or two bales
to Covington, sold it and bought bis sup
plies there, be would not realise as much
as be would if all wouli club together
and send a man along with the cotton
to New Orleans, sell it in bulk and buy
groceries in bulk for the entire commu
niti.
This plan was therefore agreed to,
and Brother Ballard unanimously elected
to carry it out.
Accordingly, tbe neighbors got to
gether their wagons and teams, and by
a united effort succeeded in equipping a
train sufficient to transport 130 bale* of
cotton.
Fifteen miles a day is the average
speed of tbe ox wagon, and it generally
took from six to ten days to oomplete
the rouod trip.
Oo the occasion referred to,: forty
seven years ago, our brave pioneers
reached Covington without any serious
toouhle. Parson Ballard was there for
tified with his long list calling for BO
lug/ph flour, sugar, coffee and molasses
for each bead of tbe family and a spec
ial momoranda demanding a sack of
squirrel shot for Brother A., a dozen
fish hooks for Brother 8., and a caa of
powder for Brother 0., two pairs of
stuped stockings for Sister D., ten yards
of white muslin for Sister E , etc. He
took charge of the cotton, chartered a
small schooner, loaded it and boarded it
and bade his flock aa affectionate good
bye for a abort time.
When be reached the city ba pat up
at tbe City Hotel, famous then as notr,
as the papula* retort of Mitsiasippiana,
and there casually fell in with p gentle
man dressed in blue jeans hemespun,
wearing a bread brimmed Panama bat,
and lookiog the very embodied type of
a thrifty, well to do farmer, also stop
ping at the same house. We will oall
this party Stokes, though that may not |
have been his name. Stokes seemed to
be drawn to our parson by his rural garb
and inbocent look. By the merest aooi
dent, of course, and a sort of natural
congeniality, be cultivated the parson,
ate with him, talked ootton and horses
and baptism with him, and won npon
him. He introduced himself as a farmer
from Arkansas, who bad oom? down to
sell his crop of 300 bales.
"That's exaotly my business here,"
replied the Kev. Mr Ballard, "but as
this is my first trip to the oity, I am a
little green about, the business."
''"Then I can be of some servioe to
you," said Mr. Stokes. "I have been in
tbe habit of poming down every winter,
and I've learned the ropes, as the boys
ssy. To morrow I will introduce you to
one of my broken, who will dispose of
your eotton to tbe best advantage."
Accord iagly, neat morning Mr. Stakes
coaduet>ed Parson Bsllard to a commis
sion firm, who took ohsrge of the cotton,
hsd it weighed, sampled and sold. When
Mr. Ballard oalled late in the evening,
he received a check for
round proceeds of the eottan sale. She
next morning his programme waa4o lay
out this sum, or sp,, much of it a» wis
neoeaaary, to flljtthp hiUf of hia.; expect
ant aad confiding neighbors. '•'*
After supper, Mr. fkokes Resented
Parson Bollard
and under tke soothing influeneji of the
grateful LU*an»; |»« talked fluently of
stock raiding and morality. 0
• -"What do you say; Mi. Mallard," ob
served Mr. Stokes, quietly, after some
olinebing remarks about ihe absurdities
Of Armenianism, "what do you say to a
walk asooad the town f". ( !"i
"I think 'I would enjoy it," said P..*
son Ballard; "everything is «ew and
strange here to me, and I,would like to
sea tbe sights."
"Very well, then, we Will start with
out delay."
The pair moved out of the City Ho
tel, strolled »loeg the Jevec, went up one
street and down another, until Parson
Ballard had completely lost his oompass
He knew not where he was nor how he
got there. Finally he said to his com
panion :
"liet us go ba6k to the hotel now ; I
think we have seen enough for one
night."
"All right," said Stokes, "but let's
stftp ia here and see what sort of a place
tbisiis."
"Certainly," responded Brother Bal
lard. "There can DO no harm io that."
"We are tired and thirsty," suggested
Mr. Stokes. "Let's get one of those
fellows to fix us up a nice julep. I think
it would do o« good "
"I an thirsty," returned the other,
"and though it is unseemly for a preacher
of the Gospel t* drink at a counter, yet
I am a long way from home and wretch
edly dry. I will join you in a julep."
From this point we continue the story
in Parson Ballard's own words.
"This drink," said he, "exhilarated
me wonderfully, and I felt more Ukq,
'seeing the elephant' than ever. After
we had looked on a while, observing the
flying glasses, and the coming iu and
going out) of customers, Mr. Stokes re
marked :
'* 'Suppose we go in here' and seo wbat
tbey are doing behind the screen.'
"Hare was a large rouod table, resem
bling a vast mariner's compass, with ol]
the points distinctly marked. Men were
throwing a little round ball on it, and if
it stopped where they put down s piece
of money, the wheel man gave them two,
three, ten or a hundred times the sam
deposited. If it didtf't stop there the
engineer took the deposits himself. I
observed it, didn't stop there often. At
another table there was quite a crpwd of
men handling smooth, round pieces of
ivory about the size and shape of a sil
ver dollar, whiob they Allied 'obips'—
some blue, some white and some red. A
fellow was dealing off carda out of a
little tin box, two or three at a time, and
every tirnd he dealt he took off some of
the 'chips' at one place, *t>ti at another
plaee he would put down other 'thips.'
I saw one msn with a whole pile of blue
chips, and every one of them was Mid to
be worth $lO in gold. I became some
what bewildered and exeited. Stokes
aaked ma to take another julep. I did
so; and we returned. Was I beside
myself? I wondered. I felt a moment-'
ary sensation of recklessness creep over
me. Stokea auggfslsd that we try our
luck just one time. We tried and won-
A Second trial, and a second winning.
And so ofr for several turnings. By and
by, tbe tide turned, and I lost —kept on
loeiog until I bad nothing left. Then
Stokes drew me feaek to the counter, and
We took another drink. By tbis time I
must have been booty. Stokes suggested
that tbe men behind the screen who
handled tbe chips and bank bills Were a
set of swindlers—that be had caught
the sleight of the thing and knew how
to win, and if I woald go back and try
it agaie he felt certain that I would re- 1
oover all my loaaes. r
" 'Bat I haven't gut any more tuotiAyf
I replied.
* 'Yoa have got « cheek ftr $5,000;'
replied Stokes, 'and I Win get it cashed
here.'
" 'My God,' I acclaimed, 'I can't ate
that cheek. It rapreeeats tbe year's
wosk of some thirty or forty of my (rust
ing parishioners. No, no, ae-! That is
impossible.'
W4 I doa't propose for yoa to use the
oheok—only a fern dollars ef It to re
oover back what yon have lost. Then
you can make it good, ifiß' I can tell you
a thing or two which I believe will Qx
it so that yoa will b« almost certain to
win.' ! '
"It Is needless to prolong the tale.—
At the moment Satan triumphed. I
yielded Stokes went with me to the
man who held the money bags of the
institation, and he counted out to me
$5,000 in current bank bills, and I in
dorsed the check.
"'Now,'says Stokes, 'you play as I
tell you, and you will win.'
"We returned to tbe table, and began
the oampaign, at fiict winning and then
losing. In two or three hours the"last
cent wss gone I I looked at Stokes.
Stokes looked at me. For the first time
it begsn to dawn upon my befuddled In
telleet that I was the victim of a gamb
ling house pimp. Did I rush upon him
and wreak vengeance for my wreck ?
Ob, no. T was too utterly crushed for
that. All at a sudden tbe monstrous
nature of my crime flashed upon me
with overwhelming and blasting force
I thought of the simple and oonflding
members of my flook whose sweet trust
I had so bssely betrayed. I thought of
the deep disappointment and poignant
suffering which my would entail
upon them. I thought of my devoted
wife ai.d two little children. I thought
of the great and good Saviour whom I
had betrayed and whose servant I pro
fessed to be. In the twinkling of ati
eye my great eritne, io all its horrid de
formity and with tbe terrors whioh It
would entail, was unfolded to my dis
tracted vision. I had been false to my
self, to my people, to my own house
bold, to my God ! Oh, then it waß that
I prayed to Him with an intensity of
fervor never felt by me before nor since
I prayed that He would send His light
ning down and strike me dead in my
tracks, or in the boundlessness of His
mercy He would point a way out of this
dwp damnation.
'•Well, Stokes pulled mc out of this
'hell'—a strictly correct name for all
such places. I moved along with him
listlessly. If, up to this time I hsd been
a mere tool iu his hands, now I was a
sitffple child, caring not where he csf
ried me nor what he did with me. By
and by we camo to another saloon, and
Stokes invited me to drink once more.
I complied, of course. While standing
at the counter we heard a rattling of
'chips' in the rear. Stokes asked me if
I bad any money. I felt in aiy brooches
pocket and fouud a Mexiean silver dollar.
" 'That can do you no good,' says
Stokes; 'suppose we go is here and make
one more trial with it.'
" 'All right,' I said, feeling utterly
desperata, and taking in the full foroe
of Stokes's suggestion that that poor
isolated dollar would do me no good.
"We went in, and I laid down tbe
silrer dollar. It won. I doubled it
and won again. I increased the bet and
it won a third time. I kept on increas
ing and winniug. Every play was a
success. I filled my coat pookets and
breeohes pockets with bank bills I
pulled off my hat and crammed that
full. At daylight I arose from the table
with vest pocketa, coat pockets, breeches
pockets and my bat full of bauk bills.
Stokes said : 'Watt, you are in Inek.'
r 'No,' I said, 'I am going to the hotel at
once.' I took my hat und£r my arm
and started, Stokes following me. I
never turned to the right or left, but
made short time for tbe bate). Arriv
ing there, I went behind the eounter
and said to the clerk : 'Here, count this
money for me.'
"'How muoh Lava you got?' asked
the clerk.
" 'God only knows,' I answered, and
I poured my bat full of baok bills be
fore him, and began to empty my pock
ets one at a time.
" 'Ain't you never going to stop pall
ing out bank bills ?' exclaimed the clerk,
laughing at my singulsr appesranoe and
ludicrous excitement.
'•Wait!' I said, and prooeedad with
the disgorgement. After I had emptied
all my pockets, the clerk oommenoftd the
count. When be bad finished it, it was
found that I had SIO,OOO. I then told
him my adventure, and asked hia assist,
aaet in the parohsse of the articled I
was deputed to buy. He told me wtiere
to go, and I filled every bill to tbe point
of exactness. With the remaining #5,-
000 I bought a stock of goods, suoh aa
were needed in my country, arrived
home im timt, turned over everything to
the perfect satisfaction of my friends,
and built a small store-house aud started
k mercantilfe bnsitießs which hit* proved
to be the foundation of my fortune."
Mr. Ballard told me this story about
twenty years after its occurrence,and
renark«d at the conclusion of it:
. *:' Yog! ate tbe only man 1 have ever
brattfefd a syllable to eonceraing this
fearful episode. It is literally and strict
ly true. I attribute my saooess at tbe
second gsmiug-bouse solely and entirely
to the effiusay ot the earnest sppeal I
made at that time to my Maker. I
have never touched a gauie of. chance
ner a drop of liquor before nor sines,
and, as God is my shield, I never will."

Labor, Capital and Fate.
Tbe ssiling, a few days ago, of a num
ber of skilled carpenters and joiners
from this country for England, for the
purpose of finding steady employment
there, tells a tale of its own. We have
no desire to approach the subjeot senti
mentally, but certainly the common way
of treating suoh an event as this, sadly
significant as it is, is bratally flippant,
even among presumably intelligent men.
The eotnmoo way of diepesing of the
subject is as follows ; Tbe laws of sup
ply and demand regulate most things in
the business world; if people do not
ehoose to Work for certain stipulated
sums let them refuse and go elsewhere.
This is sound doctrine so far as it
goes, but it leaves oat the root of the
matter whiah will always stubbornly in
sist upon staving tbe pbiloeopher in the
face. All capable and industrious men
will fee), and are justified in feeling,
that they have a right to receive a fair
compensation for their labor, and it is
not enough to tell them that the present
relations between labor and eapital pre
clude their receiving that compensation.
Tbe fanlt seems to be thrown further
back, upon fate or Providence—call it
wb«t yon will'—and all tho practicality
in the world will not prevent the unsuc
cessf'ul laborer from feeling that he has
been wrpaged.—A- F. T hyrapi.
Pay as You Go
Of all the maxims to be met with in
the English Isnguage, few are more
worthy ftf being remembered and prac
tioed than "Pay as ycu go.** If tbe
maxim be always kept ia mind, aad
obeyed through the various transactions
of life, it will prove a source of wealth
to the person who has-it as his 00m
m*ad. He will never have to dodge
into a by street, or run up blind alleys
t» avoid meeting his angry oreditort.—-
His merchant and.blaoksmith will bring
hiai no half-yearly bills, swollen in items
and acoounts far beyond his highest cal
culations. This maxim not only applies
to the various business transactions, but
is equally applicable to our farms and
homes The man who pays as he goes
it most always conteoted and happy to
know that all he posse see about his
farm and home is free from mortgage
and debt. The train of evils that deb
occasions ean never be folly estimated or
described. How many discontented per
sons we see in daily life, who are in debt
beyond tbeir means, by not observing
the maxim : "Pay as you go" The
poverty and dishonesty that distresses
our laod to day, has principally grown
out of disobeying tbis iatpCttaot and
useful maxim. The thousands that are
to-day 4a want ef the necessary comforts
of life, and the many dishonest means
that are cmploytd to get money, attest
the truthfulness of the abevo named
maxim. A disobedienoe of tMa maxim
causes not only poverty and dishonesty,
but it is of unequal power in prodnelng
restless nights and miserable days. The
man who is seeking after happiness and
wealth will do well to oarry io hie heart
and practice this healthful maxim: "Pay
as yoa go."
SELF-GOVERNMENT is good, if those
who exercise it know how to practice it.
It is supreme folly to expect soy num
ber of persons to govern eaoh other if
the have never learned to govern thcm>
selves. Patting amaa ia a 6 tat e house
to make laws, before be bss been placed
in a schoolhouse to learn how to study,
and before he knows the scienoe of gov
ernmeot, is as much foolishness, as ft
woqld be te permit a man to navigate a
vessel, who kn>ws nothing about navi
gation. The right of universal suffrage
is based on the duy Of universal educa
tion. DishoneM and uneducated persons
should never be •permitted to make iur
laws.

' 1 A Dare-Devil Gendralf 7^
■ M niOS La
Dare-devil Skobeleff, who biasoee Mi
bad;, but acoepte defeat M the "will rf
God," is tbe most popular df the lioa
sian heroes. Hit force ru oa the •>-
treme left of Bcbakofiski'e division is
the first disastrous attack upon Plevna.
When his hattallion of in&ntry HI
under tbe first fire of tbe twelve g«oe
defending that portion of tbe Turkish
line, tbe soldiers shouted, "Charge!"
and began rushing forward. Skobeleff
ordered a halt; lines were formed with
tbe precision of a dress-parade, and the
command was given, "Garry arms 1"
"Present aroas !" When the line wtß
at a "Present," the shells began to fall
among them. Skobeleff then asked
them it' they did not think "they pre
sented a ridiculous speotacle in that po
sition under fire." They replied that
they did. Then he assured them that
he would keep them. there until the nett
day unless tbey promised to keep order
in the ranks await the oommand of
their officers, instead of yelling and
charging on their own aoconnt. The
men assured bim that they saw the force
of his remark. They were then led for
ward, and behaved splendidly dnring
tbe whole action. This brings to mind
the iron-handed discipline of Catherine's
terrible Marshals, who opened their bat
teries upon their own soldiers when tbey
were wavering in tbe obarge, and drum
med their Generals out of oamp whoa
they ventured to suggest a retreat.
Official Responsibility.
The Raleigh Newt is exposing some
: irregularities among officials of Raleigh.
I It seems that some of tbe eity officials
are in arrears for various amounts da*
from their respective offices for tbe last
fiscal year. It will not do to say that
the bonds of tbese gentlemen are good
and will hold the oity harmless. The
custom in vogue among some public offi
cers .for UM ig publie funds for private
uses cannot be justified under any eir»
cumstanoee. It is bad faith and leads to
trouble and demoralization, even in oases
where the publio is fortified against loes
by responsible securities. It always
inures to the damage of the party re
sponsible for tbe election of saidoffiolals,
aad no party having respect for its obar
aeter and oicupying high moral ground,
can excuse such conduct in the men it
has promoted to office. And no matter
to what party a delinquent office holder
belongs, if be shodld pervert the pubHA
funds from their proper channel, it is the
duty of the publio press to speak oat
oondemnatioo, and give it the eensntfit
deserves.
Our Btate has been parsed enough
with malfeasance and defalcations under
Hadioal rule in the past, and no "irreg
ularities," no short comings, no matter
what the intention or what the result—
oan be tolerated in any manner by tbe
Demooratio party. Let every office
holder be held to a strict accountability
for tba faithful performance of his duty
in every particular. Hy suoh a course
alone can our party maintain its obliga
tions to the country and meet the expec
tations of the people.— Wilton Advance.
A Royal Lesson on HujMuaity.
Queen Caroline, wife of George 11,
being informed that her eldest daughter,
afterward Princess of Orange, was ac
customed, at going to rest, to employ one
of the ladies of the court to read aloud
to her till she should drop asleep, and
that on one occasion the princess suffered
the lady, who was indisposed, to oon»
tioue her fatiguing duty until she fell
down in a swoon, determined to incul
cate on her daughter a lesson of human
ity. The next night the queen, when
in bed, sent for the prinoess and com
manded ber to read aloud.
After some time her royal highness
began to be tired of standing, and paus
ed in hopes of receiving an order to be
seated. "Proceed," said her Majesty.
In a short time a second paiißc soemed to
plead lor rest. "Read on," said ths
Queen, again. The princess again stop,
ped, and again received an order to pro
ceed, till at length, faint and breathless,
Bbe wfcs forced to complain. "Then,"
skid this Excellent parent, "if you thus
feel the pain of this exercise far one
! evening Only, What must your attendants
! Ifeel who do 1t every night f Hence,
learn, my daughter, never to indulge
yoni 1 own ease, while you suffer your at
tendants to endure unnecessary fatigue."
